Page 13: Adf Analysis
ADF Sample Preparation Procedure To prepare samples for fiber analysis, follow the procedure detailed below. IMPORTANT: When using the ANKOM Fiber Analyzer for ADF analysis, at least one blank filter bag should be included with the sample set as an indicator of particle loss. - Page 14 IMPORTANT: If your samples contain soybean products or >5% fat… Before doing the ADF analysis in the ANKOM , you will need to do a pre- extraction. For samples containing non-roasted soybean or >5% fat, follow the pre-extraction steps below: Place the filter bags with sample (up to 23) into a container with a top.
- Page 15 Fiber Analyzer If you are following the acid detergent procedure with an acid detergent lignin, you NOTE: can find the lignin procedure on our website at www.ankom.com. To perform the ADF analysis on prepared samples, follow the procedure detailed below. IMPORTANT: The Vessel must be at room temperature before beginning an ADF analysis.
